“You created being abused. You should examine why you chose to create that.” “If you aren’t healing, it’s because you don’t want to heal. You enjoy feeling this way. You like the attention.” “Don’t talk to me about those issues. Those don’t affect me. I choose to believe only in light and love, and you should believe that way too.” “Anger just lowers your vibration and makes bad things happen. You shouldn’t feel anger. Just…
Over the weekend, I had something like an epiphany about the way I conduct business and what role my truths and beliefs play. I’ve always had strong opinions and beliefs, but I’m not always good at expressing them. Sometimes it’s due to not having the words I need; other times, it’s out of fear of what other people might think. I turned 50 years old last week. It’s well past time to stop worrying about…
Since it’s my birthday week, I’m taking a break from the blog. I hope everyone is doing well!
As the changes in our world continue, we see more and more that the “normal” we once knew might not come back anytime soon, if it ever does. And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Most of us have activities and people in our lives that are currently out of reach for us because of the pandemic that, in some places, still has us confined to our homes. Even in places that have begun to…
As I’ve mentioned in other blog posts lately, I’ve been taking things a little easier since the pandemic started. I’m not out there on social media and the like discussing RiverEvolutions as much, and in fact have pretty much stopped promoting the business. This was partly due to a drastic reduction in clients and students, but it was also a conscious choice. At first, I fell into the trap that was circulating all over the…
So much information is circulating right now about COVID-19, medications, vaccines, and the like. You see it on the news and on social media. Maybe you hear it from friends or family members. Some of it is accurate. Some is not. Some is true, and some is blatantly false. The problem with the inaccurate or false information is that it has the potential to cause harm. Think about the claims from the so-called leader of…
I’m realizing that a lot of things have shifted for me. I’m not sure whether depression is playing a role, or the current health situation (which may be leading to depression, honestly), or something else entirely. I was still working on my business, RiverEvolutions, when all this started, but I hadn’t had a paying client in months, and I had only two Chios Energy Healing students. A few weeks into the shutdowns, one of my…
Note: This appeared as an article in my May 20 newsletter. I have chosen to share it as a blog post as well in the hope of reaching a wider audience. In Stephen King’s novel The Stand, about a manmade pandemic ravaging the world, he devotes an entire chapter to snippets about the people who die because of the illness but not *from* the illness. People who are injured and can’t find help because everyone…
How are you doing? When someone asks you that, do you reply honestly, or do you cover up how you’re really feeling? Do you say, “I’m fine,” when you’re anything but? Right now, a lot of us are anything but fine. As the pandemic continues, people are fearing loss of income. Some are struggling to survive in homes that were unsafe even when they were able to leave from time to time. Some are wondering…
One phrase that keeps popping up in news stories and online is “the new normal.” But what does “normal” even mean? Usually when that phrase is used lately, it’s referring to the current state of restrictions and advisories caused by COVID-19. Those changes have become the way of doing things during the health crisis, and most of them are new to many of us. But are they “normal”? Normal isn’t a consistent, objective thing. Just…
